    Look what I found while I was wasting time on the 'net this morning.

    Safe Road Use Of Elephants

    Aside from the main point of this article, I found it most amusing to find that state-run Indian elephants are fitted with reflectors 'in an attempt to prevent road accidents'. What does it take to accidentally crash into an elephant?

  • Silliest Thing Iโ€™ve Seen All Week

    As this hilarious BBC news story tells it, an artist came home to his Liverpool house to find that:

    (a) A criminal had broken in to his home.
    (b) Mistaking a piece of his artwork as a human head in a jar, the criminal turned himself in to the police to tell them about it. He also โ€ฆ

    Almost Passed This On The Way To Work

    Another fantastic story from the BBC: this one took place yesterday, and so I missed it, as I didn't come in to work. Apparently this lorry full of cheese caught fire on the A44, on my usual route to the office. The driver said: "I saw the fire starting but by the time I'd gone โ€ฆ

  • Sandplough

    As this report by the BBC states, Danish soldiers in Iraq were surprised when their latest supplies shipment, instead of containing much-needed morphine and tent equipment, contained a snowplough and a supply of lawnmowers.

    Now; okay - I understand that mistakes happen, and perhaps there was a mix-up between two supplies orders... but somebody must have โ€ฆ

  • Anonymity For Beginners

    Somebody obviously didn't understand the idea of the BBC's story on annoying work colleagues when they posted the following comment: see how they signed it off -

    Why are there so many 'Anonymous' comments above? If people are so concerned about their colleagues, then say so with the courage of your convictions rather than snipe about โ€ฆ

  • Practical Joke Of The Week

    Am pulling off a fantastic one against my girlfriend, Claire. On Friday, our landlord arrived with a plumber to replace the leaky taps in our bathroom. The new taps are very similar in design, but significantly taller. I didn't tell Claire that we have them.

    Yesterday - Saturday - night, after washing her hands, she remarked โ€ฆ
